Michigan: A Baptist pastor from Warren charged with molesting a 15-year-old boy made incriminating statements about the incidents to investigators, the city’s police chief said.

It’s those statements -- combined with the boy’s and text messages between the pair – that led a judge to keep Christopher Settlemoir, 26, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church and K-12 school in Warren, in jail on $1-million bond today – despite claims of innocence.

A police detective told Judge Matthew P. Sabaugh that the boy and Settlemoir allegedly performed sex acts on each other at the church and Settlemoir’s home in Warren between Feb. 1 and June 4.
